Dr. Ahmed Zayed

Male performance enhancement has become a massive industry in just the last few years, often thought to be attributable to the fact that men are becoming more willingly to talk about problematic areas of their sex lives. In the past, men often considered themselves less worthy when problems like erectile dysfunction start to affect their performance in the bedroom. This then often led to anxiety and depression, as well as added stress to the man’s life.

Today, however, most men know that they are not alone when they start to experience these types of symptoms; thus encouraging them to talk openly about their problems – not only with their partner, but also with their health care providers. This can often help them overcome their problems and restore their natural abilities in the bedroom.

While pharmaceutical interventions have helped a lot of men fight against the symptoms of erectile dysfunction, as well as many other sexual problems and health issues that can affect a man’s sexual is also known that these treatment options can come with side-effects that can be unpleasant in many cases.

Not wanting to risk it, many people are now starting to turn toward a more natural approach when it comes to alleviating the symptoms they are experiencing. Such an approach may assist with improving* erectile function and sexual performance, without the risk of developing side-effects.

Male Sexual Dysfunctions: What You Should Know

In this post, we are going to share 15 of the best herbal supplements that men can turn to when they need a boost* in the bedroom, whether it is to help them achieve better erections or help them last longer, without the need for obtaining treatment from a healthcare professional, which often includes the utilization of pharmaceutical drugs that may, as it is commonly known, cause side-effects.

Before we proceed with announcing the most effective herbal supplements that can be used for these purposes, however, we first want to provide our readers a quick overview of male sexual dysfunctions, including what they are, the types of male sexual dysfunctions, talk about the particular symptoms caused by these dysfunctions and more.

As the name suggestions, a male sexual dysfunction refers to any particular disorder that has an effect on a man’s sexual function. Erectile dysfunction is considered to be one of the most common disorders men experience when it comes to their sexual function, affecting at least 52% of men over the entire world to some extent, as reported by Cleveland Clinic[1].

This male sexual disorder refers to a condition where a man is unable to have intercourse properly due to the inability to have an erection or the inability to retain an erection.

Erectile dysfunction is not the only male sexual disorder that can cause a significant impact on a man’s performance in the bedroom. According to Medline Plus[2], other conditions that are also worth mentioning include:

Ejaculatory issues, which may cause a man to ejaculate too quickly during sex, take too long to ejaculate or cause the man to be unable to ejaculate at all during sex.

Low stamina and energy levels, which can have a considerable impact on a man’s sexual performance as the man would be unable to maintain a constant pace of sexual intercourse due to him becoming tired and not having enough energy or strength to continue.

What Causes A Man To Experience These Symptoms?

Numerous factors have been linked to an increased risk of a man experiencing problems in the bedroom. A lot of these factors does not directly affect the man’s sexual performance and function, but rather causes certain adverse effects within the man’s body that leads to problems arising with his erectile function, ejaculatory control or other areas that contribute to adequate sexual performance.

Many diseases have been linked to erectile dysfunction, including heart disease, depression and blood vessel conditions. Depression is somewhat of a complicated cause since it has been linked to a higher risk of erectile dysfunction, but erectile dysfunction may also contribute to the development of depression symptoms. Certain medical conditions can also cause a man to experience a reduced* libido and poor stamina.

A stressful life and emotional problems, such as issues with a relationship, may also contribute to certain sexual dysfunctions, including erectile dysfunction and ejaculatory problems. In addition to these potential causes, it is also important to understand that certain types of medication may also have an effect on a man’s sexual function; thus leading to fatigue, poor stamina, weak erections and improper ejaculatory control.

How Are Male Sexual Dysfunctions Usually Treated?

Even though sexual dysfunctions among men can be inconvenient and even cause them to experience emotional symptoms, most of these disorders can be treated successfully.

There are multiple ways to treat* various sexual dysfunctions, but the treatment options available to a man would depend on the particular problems they are experiencing in the bedroom, as well as what may be the cause behind the symptoms that are making it difficult for them to please their partner in bed.

When an underlying cause is identified, the treatment plan compiled for a man experiencing sexual difficulties will first aim to treat* the underlying causes that are contributing to his poor sexual function. For example, when his testosterone levels are low, a healthcare professional may recommend testosterone replacement therapy.

Should the man be suffering from a condition that causes a restriction in his blood vessels, then this would be targeted through his treatment plan as healthy blood flow, which an erection highly depends on, can only be achieved with healthy blood vessels.

In some cases, a doctor may also prescribe certain types of medication to a male patient experiencing symptoms of sexual dysfunction to provide them with a faster solution to treating the problem.

For men experiencing symptoms of erectile dysfunction, numerous options are available, with the most popular being Viagra. WebMD[3] explains that Cialis, Stendra and Levitra may also be given as alternatives to Viagra to some men, depending on their health status and medical history.

3. Zinc – Zinc is another essential nutrient that plays several crucial roles in the human body and is classified as a trace mineral. This nutrient also has a role in the production of testosterone.

4. Magnesium – Similar to Zinc, magnesium is also a mineral that has vital functions in the body, some of which goes as deep as a cellular level. Magnesium has also been linked to better testosterone production. Magnesium may also help to reduce* muscle aches and possibly reduce* fatigue, both of which can be problematic during sex.

5. Selenium – Selenium is both a mineral and a very powerful antioxidant that has numerous benefits to contribute to the human body. This mineral helps improve* heart health in adequate levels. Poor heart health has been linked to erectile dysfunction and reduced* sexual performance; thus Selenium might be useful amongst men suffering from heart problems, as well as issues with their sexual performance.

6. Boron – Boron is a cheap mineral that is often overlooked by men trying to boost* their testosterone levels, either to experience an increase* in libido or better physical performance. According to Anabolic Men[6], boron has a significant impact on testosterone production and also reduces* levels of estrogen.

7. Horny Goat Weed – Horny goat weed has been used for centuries by men and women to improve* their sexual health.

9. Korean Ginseng – Also commonly called Panax Ginseng, this plant root extract has the ability to offer men a considerable improvement in various areas of sexual performance, including erectile function, energy and stamina, as well as fertility.

10. L-Arginine – L-Arginine is a type of amino acid that converts to nitric oxide in the body, which then causes blood vessels to become relaxed and allow more blood to flow through. This, in turn, supplies the penis with more blood during an erection, which leads to a firmer erection.

11. L-Citrulline – L-Citrulline is a precursor of L-Arginine, meaning that the body converts this amino acid into the amino acid L-Arginine. Thus, the benefits are similar than L-Arginine, but L-Citrulline is considered a more powerful supplement as its bioavailability is better than L-Arginine.

12. Ginkgo Biloba Leaf – Ginkgo biloba leaf is often used as a way to improve* mental function in people due to the increased amounts of blood the plant pushes to the brain.
